WWD's booth sat down with Gucci's Alessandro Michele ahead of his runway show on Hollywood Boulevard to discuss the brand's centennial, Harry Styles, 'House of Gucci' and more.
“I remember the first time I came here, I was in front of the stars and Shirley Temple’s handprints and Jean Harlow’s. It was unbelievable. And the Chinese Theatre, you think in the beginning of the century they built this exotic building. I like to go back to the fantasy of that time.”“Vertigo” and “All About Eve” were favorite films he watched over and over growing up.
Naturally, when Michele landed in L.A. last week, the newly opened Academy Museum of Motion Pictures was on the top of his list. “I get more inspired by costume design than fashion design,” he said. During a visit to the museum, he stood in front of Dorothy’s ruby slippers, made by Adrian.
His devotion to individualism guided his approach to the Love Parade runway show. “It’s about Hollywood outside the stage and in the street, mixing with people,” he said of how celebrities Jared Leto, St. Vincent, Miranda July and Macaulay Culkin–yes Macaulay Culkin–walked among the mortals.
